Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld Rumor Linked With Lieberman
Why is Rummy now being accused of showing a poker face? Is this man playing a whole different card game or are the accusations correct?
Amidst rumor and innuendo, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld hosted Sen. Joe Lieberman for a breakfast meeting Thursday in the middle of speculation that the Connecticut Democrat could be in line to replace him if he was to step down from his post.
Many believe that President Bush is at odds with Secretary Rumsfeld, as well as Vice President Dick Cheney. There is speculation throughout Washington that Bush is starting to feel that the leadership being provided on the Iraq War by Rumsfeld, and Cheney, is contradictory to what he feels should be going on. This has led many political insiders to speculate that changes in the administration will be forthcoming. Many feel that President Bush will tap Senator Joe Lieberman as his next Secretary of Defense if a change in this position occurs.
Joe Lieberman is considered to be one of President Bush’s staunchest Democratic defenders on the handling of the Iraq War. Senator Joe Lieberman has routinely spoken in direct contradiction of his parties’ stance on the war; he has been a vocal advocate for Bush’s Iraq policies.
Whether you like him or not, rumor has it that you may not have Donald Rumsfeld to kick around much longer. However, as of right now, this is all speculation and rumor; does anyone recall the Social Studies term ‘Trial Balloon’?
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was responsible for directing the actions of the Defense Department in response to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
Before returning for his second tour as Secretary of Defense, Mr. Rumsfeld chaired the bipartisan U.S. Ballistic Missile Threat Commission, in 1998, and the U.S. Commission to Assess National Security Space Management and Organization, in 2000.
Donald H. Rumsfeld was sworn in as the 21st Secretary of Defense on January 20, 2001. Before assuming his present post, the former Navy pilot had also served as the 13th Secretary of Defense, White House Chief of Staff, U.S. Ambassador to NATO, U.S. Congressman. www.defenselink.mil
